AJ with Dragonfly

Hey everyone!

I'm back, well at least to blogging.  I'm going to start off pretty slow, but I plan to share two small projects today.  I'm proud to say I made 5 cards altogether.  Yes 4!  hahaha!  Here's what I made using AJ with Dragonfly from Yumi & Fumi Handmade...

Sorry but I can't quite remember the name of this card, if I come across it or if you know please feel free to leave a comment.  (This is called a tent card! Thanks Rachel for sharing!!) Created a window and built it from there...  Here's a side view of the card...

The scene is pretty simple.  A cloud covered backdrop with AJ peeking out from behind a tree.  The grass was die cut using a Fiskars boarder die.  The tree trunk is paper from Doodlebug as well as the green & white polka dot paper.  The sentiment is from the O&A Buddies set from TGF.  Finished it off with a green button and brown & white twine all on top of a turqouise colored cardstock.

This next card can be used as a small gift tag.  The cool thing about the new Peek-a-Boo stamps are they can be used for small cards, or tags.  This card measures 3.5 x 3.5 and is pretty CAS.

I thought the "dude" was a pretty funny sentiment to put on this one, cause seriously I'd be saying "Dude!" if a dragonfly dropped on my nose! hahaha...  (Sentiment from Paper Smooches)



I had a lot of fun making both cards.  It didn't take too long to color either of them up and then adding them to these cards.  Looking forward to sharing the rest of the cards I made.  Yay!  Hoping to get back in to visting blogs as well.  I appreciate those of you who stopped by, you're all really very sweet!  Have a terrific Monday and please stop by the Yumi & Fumi Handmade blog to see what we've been up to.

Happy Monday!

Hugs,

Y&FH Release Day!! Peek-a-Boo Series

Good morning and welcome to RELEASE day at Yumi & Fumi Handmade!! 

Woo Hoo!!

We're so happy you could join us today.

Before we start the showcase, we'd like to say a huge Welcome & ALOOOHAAA to our friends Cliff & Cheryl of J's Knicknacks in Honolulu, HI.  J's is the first to carry our line of Yumi & Fumi Handmade stamps in their store and we're really happy and excited about it!!  If you live in the area please stop by and say Hello and pick up a few of our stamps.  Thank you from the bottom of our hearts to J's Knicknacks for being our firsts!! 

Yes, that means we've gone wholesale!  If you'd like to see our stamps in your local craft store please ask them to send us an email at wholesale@yumifumihandmade.com. 

Today we’re excited to show you our newest stamps created with a little whimsy in mind.  When coming up with this new stamp line we wanted to do something a little different but still keep fun and cute in mind.  We came up with the idea of our characters peeking around a corner, laying in the grass, and maybe even peeking over something.  Then we thought it would be even cuter to add in our own little critter friends to go along with us.  That is how the Peek-a-Boo series was born.

These stamps are the same quality as our other stamps and all made in the USA.  Made of deeply etched red rubber on cling mount they are also scroll cut and indexed for easy stamping.  The only difference is they are much smaller than our normal sized images, but that doesn't detract from their cuteness.

Each stamp retails for $7.50, but for a limited time you can purchase a bundle pack of all 4 stamps for the low price of $25 until Monday, April 8th at 5pm pst.  (This offer only applies in the Yumi & Fumi Handmade store) 

Make sure to stop by the Y&FH blog to see what the rest of the DT created with our new images.  When you click on each designer's name it will take you directly to their blog for details on their projects.

Time to welcome our Peek-a-Boo friends into the ohana…

Today I am sharing my project featuring

AJ with Dragonfly

AJ with Dragonfly image colored by Eva

Isn't he adorable with the dragonfly landing on his nose?!!  As you can see he can be used peeking around anything.  For my project I have him peeking around a white-washed fence.

This actually started out as another sticky note easel card, but I forgot to add the long piece of cardstock for the easel before gluing down the box!  No worries though because I created another box to go on top and now have this cute little gift box which I can still put sticky notes, or other small flat things. 

I hope you enjoyed my project featuring the adorable AJ and his little Dragonfly friend.  Make sure to stop by the rest of the team's blogs and leave them some love.  They did an AWEmazing job with this release.  Always blows me away.
